THE MOTHER GOOSE PUZZLE BOOK 


TO WHICH ARE ADDED 

THE SEVEN VOYAGES OF SINBAD THE SAILOR 

AND 

OTHER PUZZLE PICTURES 



5 



Four and Twenty Blackbirds. 


For a great many years students of Mother Goose have wondered what became 
of the four and twenty blackbirds when they were discovered in the pie predica- 
ment of which the ballad speaks so eloquently. 

Of course, we all know that “ when the pie was opened the birds began to 
sing,” but what became of them after all that? It is hardly probable that they 
were asked to sing again. No : rather they were requested to withdraw as quickly 
as possible. 

There sat the King waiting patiently for his pie, and there were the black- 
birds making a dreadful noise. They were determined not to be eaten alive, and 
so defying the King and his henchmen they departed. See if you can find them.

The Man in Brown and the Pigs. 


The man in brown must be a very good marksman to bring down with his 
bow every pig he sees flying through the air. He must also be very fond of pork, 
especially the winged variety, and his eyes are better than mine, for try as I will, 
I cannot find a single pig, can you ? 


8 



Higglety Pigglety, My Black Hen. 


All of you who have kept poultry yards, or who know anything at all about 
hens, will see that the black hen in the picture was one of the most remarkable birds 
in history. Here was a hen that laid every day. And she was not content with 
laying a round dozen, but threw in one more to make it a baker’s dozen. 

You can easily understand why her mistress, in the excess of her gratitude, 
exclaimed : “ Higglety, Pigglety.” 

How many gentlemen do you think came every day for the eggs ? Of course 
they came very quietly, and concealed themselves behind the trees, and in every 
way possible, so that they should not frighten the hen. 

Can you find them ? If you hunt very hard, and turn the picture every which 
way, I think you can. 


10 



11 



A Flock of White Sheep. 


You will all see the white sheep in this picture plainly enough, but “A Flock 
of White Sheep upon a Red Hill” is a riddle, too. 

The answer to it is hidden in six places. 

It is something you all have unless you are very little babies ; some people 
lose theirs when they become old ; then they buy new ones, and perhaps the flocks 
of sheep hidden in this picture are of the bought kind. Let us look closely. 

We shall be able to tell better when we find them. 


12 



13 


Cock -a- Doodle -Do! 

Here is a pretty state of affairs. We have always been under the impression 
that men and horses were the only creatures that wore shoes. Now here is some- 
thing telling us that it also wears them. What can it be ? Let us look at the 
picture ; perhaps the rooster will help us find the answer. 


14 


Cock-a-doodle-do! ^ty color’s any hue: < _ _ 

Although I'm pu t u ooq the foot I always wear a ■sboe .C 



16 


Fingers and Thumbs. 

Can you guess what this load of fingers and thumbs really is ? Of course 
they are not real, but the real ones would get very cold sometimes if this load 
were not brought to town every winter. Feel in your pockets — perhaps you may 
have a few about you this very minute. 


16 



17 






Plum Pudding. 


The answer to this riddle is plum pudding. You are all hungry, I know, 
so run along quickly and find the bags which contain the sweet meat There 
are two men up on the mountain top gathering fruit with which the cook will 
make some more when you have eaten the puddings hidden in different parts 
of the picture. 



19 


Swim Swan, Swim ! 


What is it that swims over the sea and then swims back again ? Most of 
you have seen them and many of you have ridden on them. You will find it 
very hard to repeat this conundrum rapidly without tripping over the words. 


20 



21 






Dick Red Cap. 


Most children have met Dick Red Cap. Country children find him in trees 
while city children find him in pies. Look closely and you will see Dick and some 
of his brothers and sisters hidden in the picture. 



23 


Hoddy Doddy. 


Hoddy Doddy is ugly and somewhat deformed, having three feet. Then, 
too, he wears a wooden hat which does not become him ; however he is useful in 
the kitchen, so we are glad enough to have his help when dinner time comes round. 
There are five pictures of him hidden in this picture ; look sharply, but do not 
touch him if your hands are nice and clean. 


24 



25 








As Deep as a House, as Round as a Cup. 

What can it be? It cannot be a smoke-stack or a flag-pole, for the king’s 
horses could pull those things in any direction. It must be something fastened 
very securely to the ground. I think I can. see it now — can you ? 


26 



27 


Long Legs, Crooked Thighs. 


Hard names indeed to call after a poor blind man. Perhaps they are not 
meant for the old fellow. Let us look carefully and see if the names fit any 
other objects hidden away among the trees and bushes.

Jack and his brothers are hiding now. The little girl in the 
you where they are if you ask her. 



81 



Little Nan Eticote. 


If the longer she stands, the shorter she grows, one might ask why she does 
not sit down and thus prevent herself from becoming a midget. Perhaps some- 
thing hidden in the picture will tell us what Nan really is. Let us look for it.

Wash Hands, Wash. 


When daddy went away to do the ploughing the children did n’t want to 
have their hands washed at all, and so they hid away in the back part of the 
picture. But the children’s mother wanted them all to be neat and clean when 
daddy came back, -and she called them in the words of the nursery rhyme given 
in the picture. So then some of the children were sorry that they had hidden 
away and stretched out their hands from the hiding places. See if you can find 
how many hands there are to wash.

Bye Baby Bunting. 


Poor Daddy I Here he is, all dressed in his best, with his plaid stockings and 
his best Tam O’Shanter. And he has come out braving the wintry ice and snow, 
with his faithful hunting dog at his heels — and very much in his way if the truth 
were known — to hunt for a rabbit skin to wrap Baby Bunting in. 

For it is now the season of the year when not only Baby Bunting, but older 
persons as well, find furs necessary to their comfort. 

Baby Bunting, with her delicate roseleaf skin, feels the cold even more than 
you do, and she has not been able to poke her head out of doors since the winter 
season began, all because she needed a rabbit skin. Now that Daddy has decided 
to get one for her she is waiting hopefully at home for his return. 

Sadly enough, when he reaches the hunting grounds every single rabbit has 
taken to the woods. Some little bird must have told them that Daddy was coming, 
for when he arrived, instead of finding the rabbits waiting, as he had expected, not 
one was to be found. 

There was nothing to be seen, as far as he could discern, but an endless waste 
of snow and groups of gnarled trees. If he had only had sharper eyes he might 
have seen the little white animals looking at him from every direction. 

Can you help the poor, disappointed man to find the rabbits? If you look 
closely at the picture I think you can. 



37 



Fire and Water Shoes. 


I am sure my shoes are not made of fire and water, earth and air. The old 
shoemaker is a wise looking old fellow and I ’ll warrant he has the answer con- 
cealed about him somewhere. Take down the lantern and perhaps it will throw a 
little light on the subject for you.

The First Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 

Almost all of you have heard about Sinbad, who was one of the most remarkable sailors 
that ever lived, and whose adventures have never yet been equalled by the salts of other lands. 
This remarkable man, Sinbad, made a number of voyages to all parts of the world. The 
things that he saw and experienced on these voyages have never before or since been known 
to mortals, but the boys and girls are now to be given an opportunity to see for themselves 
exactly what some of these strange things were like. 

In the first place, when Sinbad started forth on his voyage he naturally expected to be 
shipwrecked, but the weather was particularly calm just at that season, and day after day passed 
without adventure. 

One day, when Sinbad was carefully scanning the horizon in hopes that a hurricane might 
appear, he saw a large moss-grown bank rise out of the sea. “ Well, if we are not to be ship- 
wrecked, we can at least have a desert island,” said he, and with several of the other sailors he 
left the vessel and went ashore on the beautiful mossy island. 

To their horror, the supposed isle began rocking and sputtering, and they discovered they 
had landed, not on an island, but on the back of a huge fish. 

As the fish plunged down into the water Sinbad struck out for shore. 

At last he reached the real desert isle, over which ruled King Mihrage. 

Three of the King’s grooms were down upon the shore, and they immediately conducted 
Sinbad before the King, who treated him with great courtesy. By way of entertaining him, the 
King showed Sinbad some fishes two hundred cubits long. “ I can tell you a better fish story 
than that,” said Sinbad, and he told the King about the fish island. The King admitted that 
this was the best, and he rewarded Sinbad with many gifts, so that he became rich and powerful. 

Concealed in the picture you will find some of the interesting characters who appeared in 
the first voyage. If you look carefully, you will be able to discover King Mihrage, his two 
horses, his three grooms, the ship that Sinbad lost, and three fishes.

The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 

Sinbad had no intention of venturing on the sea again, but after awhile he grew ashamed 
of his inactive life and embarked with some other merchants. Having been at sea for some 
time, they landed on an uninhabited island, and Sinbad, being somewhat weary, withdrew from 
the company, and selecting a charming grove fell into a deep sleep. Awakening after several 
hours he was surprised to find that the ship had gone, and feeling that nothing was to be 
gained by mourning the loss of his friends, he proceeded to explore the island upon which 
Fate had so unkindly placed him. He had gone some distance when he discovered a huge 
bird, known as the roc, sitting upon her nest. He crept up to the bird without attracting her 
attention, and fastened himself securely to one of her legs with the cloth of his turban, knowing 
that a bird capable of carrying an elephant or a rhinoceros could easily fly away with him. 
Accordingly the next morning when she took wing she raised him with her, and when she 
alighted upon some cliffs on the mainland he quickly untied the knot, whereupon the roc 
resumed her journey. The place where Sinbad now found himself was upon the rocks with 
precipices so steep all about him that he could not ascend or descend. Strange to say, the 
ground was covered with diamonds, and Sinbad was filling his pockets when he heard voices 
above him. He shouted lustily, and after several attempts the owners of the voices succeeded 
in rescuing Sinbad, who was delighted to find his rescuers were none other than his merchant 
friends. They were greatly surprised to find Sinbad, whom they supposed had been eaten by 
the roc, alive and rich, so after gathering enough of the diamonds to make millionaires of them 
all, they set out for home. Find hidden in the picture three merchants, two rocs, a rhinoceros, 
and an elephant.

The Third Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 

On Sinbad’s third voyage he encountered the giant Orlando, who had been brought up 
to be a vegetarian and to eat only hay and potatoes. This tremendous creature, as a result of 
his vegetable diet, had grown to be as gentle and affectionate as a lamb. He was also ex- 
tremely timid, and liked to have a great many persons around him, especially when it thundered 
and lightened. 

Unfortunately for Orlando he lived on a desert island, where there was very little com- 
pany. He therefore ordered his band of dwarfs to bring in any sailors who should be ship- 
wrecked on the coast. “ I cannot bear it !” he cried. “This silence and desolation, without a 
friend or a confidant, is too much for any vegetarian giant.” His two servants, who were also 
giants, promised to protect him, but Orlando said he wanted the sailors as well, so the dwarfs 
set out to get them. 

Just at this moment Sinbad and his crew put into the port for repairs. They readily 
followed the dwarfs to Orlando’s palace, but on discovering that they could only have hay and 
potatoes for dinner the brave Sinbad ordered a return to the ship. “ Never ! ” cried Orlando. 
“ Be my protectors and I will give you anything — you may even eat the dwarfs if you wish, or 
each other.” Orlando, being a vegetarian, did n’t see where to draw the line. 

At this suggestion Sinbad and the sailors were horrified and fled away to the ship, fol- 
lowed by Orlando, who was determined to capture them and bring them back. He would have 
succeeded in doing this, as he easily stepped over great distances, but his timidity prevented 
his going too near the water. So that Sinbad and the sailors escaped, followed by the wailings 
of the lonely giant. 

If you look closely at this picture you will be able to see the dwarfs and Orlando’s giant 
friends, as well as the more prominent actors in the story.

45 



The Fourth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 

Sinbad was one of those persons who always come out of every danger safe and sound and ready for 
fresh adventures. As soon as he is shipwrecked he fits out another vessel and sails off to find out some- 
thing new and interesting. On his fourth voyage he had fine weather for a while ; then the sky grew black 
with clouds and the wind whistled through the rigging and shrieked terribly. 

The ship was driven ashore and Sinbad and his companions found themselves surrounded by strange 
black men. Sinbad was too wily to eat the food they offered him, and he constantly kept his eyes open 
for a chance to escape. He did not have to wait long. All the strong men went off one day, and Sinbad, 
having no fear of the few old and weak ones who were left, ran away. He did not stop until he came to 
the woods where he could hide safely. Here he found berries and nuts to eat and a nice cool stream to 
drink from, and got along finely. 

After traveling many days without seeing any of his enemies, he came to the seashore and found 
friendly white men loading up a ship with the peppers that grew in that country. They loaded Sinbad 
on that ship too ; not because he was anything like a pepper, but because he wanted to get far away from 
the blacks and they were willing to help him. 

When they reached their own country they proffered Sinbad to their King, who at once took a 
fancy to him. Kings always like men who are brave and cheerful, and Sinbad was both. He kept his 
eyes open, and one day he noticed that the Prince and his noble courtiers rode their horses without stirrups, 
saddle or bridle. Indeed, they had never heard of such things. Sinbad went to some workmen in the city 
and showed them how to make these things. Then he gave them to the King and his nobles. You may 
imagine how pleased they were. After that they could hardly do enough for Sinbad. Being a very 
ingenious and skillful man, he taught the people to make many things that were useful and pretty. If he 
had stayed long enough he probably would have made an automobile. The King gave him rich silks, 
shining jewels, a fine house and one of the wealthiest and most beautiful ladies of the court for a wife. 
Sinbad enjoyed all these things, but you know how it is when you are away on a visit — you can’t help 
thinking about home, and you are pretty glad to get back there. Well, Sinbad’s native land and his old 
home were in his mind more and more as the days went by. One day he got separated from his com- 
panions, and wandered into a cave. P'inding a way out to the sea he got aboard a ship, leaving behind him 
four horses, four courtiers, the King and his wife on shore. See if you can find these and the ship in which 
he sailed.

The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 


H ere is a new adventure of Sinbad, the famous sailor. For a time it looked as if it would 
be his last, but he came out of it with his usual good fortune. 

Sinbad had been shipwrecked once more and all of his crew had been lost. He himself 
had sunk so deeply into the sea that he thought he should never come out again. When he 
finally came to the surface he caught hold of a piece of the wreck and floated on it until the 
waves bore him to the shores of a beautiful island. 

Sinbad stayed for a long while on the island, and one of his diversions was kite-flying. 
He fashioned the kites of various materials and in many shapes, some looking almost like birds 
as they floated high in the air. One day as he was flying his kites an old man asked of him 
some assistance as he was very tired and had to reach his home at the other end of the island 
by night-fall. Sinbad willingly took the old fellow upon his shoulders, whereupon the old man 
began beating him as if he were a horse, and try as the sailor might he could not shake the 
burden from bis shoulders. Finally, while passing beneath a tree around which a grape vine 
had wound itself, the old man gathered a quantity of grapes which he proceeded to devour 
with greediness, offering the good Sinbad none, and becoming intoxicated fell to the ground, 
leaving the much relieved sailor free to continue his kite-flying. Let us go back and help 
Sinbad find the kites he abandoned when he generously offered to help the Old Man of the Sea 
to his home.

The Sixth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. 


After having a long sail in pleasant weather Sinbad was again shipwrecked and 
cast upon a shore covered with wrecks of vessels and with riches that had been 
stranded there from these wrecks. He tried to find a way of escape, but a steep 
mountain that rose abruptly from the shore seemed to cut him off from all hope. At 
last he discovered a river of fresh water, which, instead of running into the sea, ran 
under the mountain. Taking pieces of the wreck he formed a strong raft, and, 
taking on board a quantity of provisions, he let the current bear him away into the 
dark hollow passage under the mountain. Here he fell asleep and when he awoke 
he found his craft drawn ashore and many negroes around him. At last he came 
to a shore, where he found a number of negroes. They took Sinbad to their king, 
who lived in a splendid palace, and when he appeared in public, rode on a throne 
on the back of an elephant. 

See if you can find the king, his elephant of state and eight negroes who 
attended him, in the picture.

Sin bad Makes his Last Voyage. 


At last Sinbad made up his mind that he would go to sea no more. He had 
had enough of adventure to satisfy even his eager spirit. No sooner had he decided 
to settle down and enjoy the fruit of his former dangers than the Caliph sent for him 
and requested him to be the bearer of a gift to a distant King. Sinbad begged him 
to send some one else, but Caliph said that he would have no one but Sinbad for 
his messenger. So Sinbad set sail once more, delivered the Caliph’s gift to the 
King and started to return home. On his way his vessel was attacked and he was 
taken prisoner : He was sold as a slave to a merchant, who ordered him to climb 
into one of the trees in a forest and to shoot elephants as they came by with his bow 
and' arrow. One day the elephants came in great numbers and tore up by its roots 
the tree in which Sinbad was. One of the elephants picked Sinbad up when he fell 
and put him on his back with his trunk and carried him away to a place covered 
with the bones and teeth of elephants. They set him down there, where he could 
get plenty of ivory without killing any more elephants. The merchant was so 
enriched by finding this ivory that he gave Sinbad his freedom and presented him 
with a vessel, in which he sailed home and lived happily there for years and years. 

There are six adventurous sailors hidden in this picture. How many can 
you find ?

Christmas Presents. 


Here is an opportunity for the boys and girls who did not receive exactly what 
they wanted for Christmas to get another Christmas present, and to choose it for 
themselves. In the picture you will see Jeanette and John, who received a great 
many Christmas presents, with which they are so pleased that they are writing to 
tell you all about it. But in Picture Land, where they live, there is very little use 
for words. Things are told in a very different way. So Jeanette and John will not 
tell you in words just what gifts they received. There were just i8 presents, and 
they are going to let you discover for yourselves what they were, which you will 
be able to do by looking closely at the picture. 


64 



65 








Saint Valentine’s Puzzle. 


Here you see the boys have been playing St Valentine tricks on the old 
gentleman in the picture. They have sent him a comic valentine and he is reading 
it very indignantly. The boys, who are all hidden in nearby nooks and corners 
are very much pleased, but if the gentleman knew they were watching him he would 
make them fly from their hiding places. 

Fortunately for them he cannot see them. Have you sharper eyes than the 
old gentleman? Can you find the boys? 



57 




The Easter Hare. 


Would n’t you be surprised if you went out into a field the night before Easter 
and found a lot of white hares darting here, there, and everywhere, hiding blue, 
green, red, purple, and yellow eggs ? That is what some little German children did. 
Their mothers had tucked them snugly in bed, but they thought so hard of what 
the little white hares were doing that they could not sleep. So out of bed they 
crept and out of the house into the still night. 

The moon was round and black shadows fell across the white earth. The 
hares were the whitest things to be seen. They fairly glistened in the moonlight. 
They were so busy at first that they did not hear the children, but finally one of 
them fairly brushed against a gaping maiden and in his excitement dropped the 
pink egg he was carrying. At that all the other hares looked around and began to 
run all ways. Never had there been such a panic among the hares. The children 
were overcome at having so affrighted the good hares and greatly feared that they 
would not hide any more eggs for them. They all turned and ran away except 
one, who stood spellbound at the sight of the fleeing hares. 

Can you find the seven eggs that the hares had hidden and the five children 
that tried to secrete themselves ?

Ten Little Red Men. 


These little red men delight little boys and terrify little girls. They are 
pretty little fellows and on the Fourth of July are so patriotic that they fairly burst 
with excitement. Look about for them but do not take a light with you for they are 
very hot-headed and lose their tempers very easily.

The Clown and the Owl. 


A very jolly and, I fear, foolish fellow is this clown who appears to be return- 
ing to the city from his summer vacation. Fortunately his wise and thoughtful 
friend who is at present enjoying a free ride upon the clown’s shoulder, has seen 
to it that all of the interesting things which have been the source of a great deal of 
amusement during the summer are carefully packed in the carpet-bag. Let us 
look about and see if we can discover any of them. 



t}3 




The Armor-Clad Knight. 


He would certainly be a very cowardly knight to spend his time pinching the 
children’s toes instead of going out in armor bright to fight for his king and his 
country. Perhaps this knight is only a make-believe one. He is a truly queer 
one if he prefers living in the water to riding his charger off to the wars. Can you 
see any traces of him in the picture ?

Bluebeard Puzzle. 


In the picture you will see that gorgeous but wicked gentleman, Bluebeard. 
He has come down the steps of his magnificent palace, and, with his cruel dagger 
unsheathed, awaits the coming of his enemies. 

But where are his gentle wives, who have made his palace bright and cheerful by 
their charming gayety ? Alas ! poor ladies, they have all perished, and only their 
heads remain to tell the tale of Bluebeard’s cruelty. Can you find the heads of 
the seven wives in the picture ? If you look carefully you will be able to discover 
the brother of Fatima, and his faithful steed, who are hurrying toward the palace 
to avenge the deaths of the beautiful wives. 



67 



Aladdin Puzzle. 


Long ago, when wonderful things happened every day, there was a boy named 
Aladdin, who lived in a far away country and who had many strange adventures, 
of which you have doubtless heard. At that time even the commonplace occupation 
of rubbing lamps had mysterious results, and one day when Aladdin was rubbing 
his mother’s old lamp a remarkable genie appeared to him and offered to carry out 
all his wishes. So Aladdin wished and was soon rich and great and married to a 
Princess who was the daughter of the greatest Sultan in the whole country. But 
one day when Aladdin’s bride, the Princess, was leaning out of the palace window, 
a magician who wanted the magical lamp for his own came along and offered to 
give her a new lamp for the old one. The bargain was at once closed, and when 
Aladdin came home he found that his magical lamp was gone. 

If you look closely at the picture you will be able to find the genie and the 
magical lamp, and you may also find the new lamp, the Princess, Aladdin’s mother, 
the Sultan, the jewel casket and the basket of jewels which Aladdin sent to the 
palace when he first went a-wooing. 










Soaring and Darting. 


This Indian is listening to the chattering that is going on all about him. One 
of the voices is angry and shows that its owner has just been robbed of a fish or 
some other dainty morsel of the sea by one of its greedy neighbors. Let us scan

disturbance.

A Horse Without Hoofs. 


He certainly cannot kick up much dust on a country road if he has no hoofs. 
Maybe he never ventures upon the highway. Let us find him and see what sort of 
a creature he is.

Black in the Sea and Red on Land. 

This creature who changes his color when he reaches the shore is not as fickle 
as one might suppose as he becomes red very much against his will. However, he 
is very much relished by old and young and has been for ages, if we may judge by 
the eager expression upon the faces of the two old Norse fishermen who are look- 
ing about in the sea for him.

History Puzzle. 


This is a picture of one of the greatest men in the history of our country.

The Japanese Peddler. 

Here we have a Japanese peddler who is trying to sell all sorts of queer 
baskets and things made of straw. Listen I do you not hear some very strange 
sounds ? Let us look among his wares ; perhaps we may find some queer objects 
which are not baskets after all.
